The Tempest API empowers developers to build useful applications, data feeds and integrations by providing easy access to all the observation and forecast data the Tempest System offers.
With both REST and WebSocket endpoints, you can tap into the Tempest API on demand or you can get information as it happens in real-time. Whether creating a simple data feed for one station or a full-blown application for millions of users, the Tempest API is all you need. The best way to get started is to buy a Tempest Weather Station and start using data from your own hardware, but you can also play around with our interactive developer documentation even if you don’t own a Tempest yet.
While Tempest apps and official integrations offer ample functionality and a wealth of uses, our API enables you and your team to create custom integrations for the decision tools you use internally, the products & services you provide your customers, and whatever else you may dream up!
